    The charge came after Smith crashed into another vehicle in September of 2021, killing the other driver Lizette Soto-Diaz. Police were pursuing Smith after they say he passed them doing well over 100 miles per hour. The crash happened before they could get Smith stopped.

    Court records say a test at the hospital showed Smith's blood alcohol level to be over twice the legal limit, he also had THC in his system.

    Smith was 18 at the time of the crash. He told investigators his parents had grounded him and he left the house without permission that night. Smith has been sentenced to 17 years in the state prison system.
